Default Custom fan setup I made

I decided to put 2 16" fans on so I made a fan shroud out of steel, still needs some work then I may have someone fab one up out of aluminum. I also installed a boost gauge (temp mount), it's cheap but it works good. at full bosst I am at 10.5 psi. here are some pics, let me know what yall think.

Those look good and would definitely do the job. You would like the low-profile setups more if you work a lot under your hood ('05 factory or FALs). I can stand on the crossmember between my fans and my radiator. Nice when doing work on the back of the engine.

i like that a lot actually.. those wires you have running from the fan motors.. you might want to either tape those up or wrap them in something

is that easy to take out if you wanted to take the timing cover off and what not?

Thanks guys

Yea I still have to hide some wires. As far as the thin fans I'm sure they look better and give you more room, but I wanted something different everyone has ls1 or 05 fans. Once I get it to my likings I will have one professionally fabbed up to my design. I am not to worried about working on the back of the engine, there isn't much I can do back there with the s/c. As far as being easy to get out it is pretty simple, it pops right out after you take out 4 screws

That looks really nice, good job! I love seeing quality home made set-ups, especially when they work well It's nice to see something different than the usual 05 and LS1 set-ups most of us are running.

Thanks for the compliments, still gotta finish hiding the wires, and tweak a little more.
